    Water flow slow at the faucet
    When I went to brush my teeth this morning, I noticed that faucet water flow was slow.
    I opened the ring around the faucet and found some lots of tiny red fish egg like objects. I let is run with out the ring and there was a gushed of those objects. I don't know what are those. I don't have any problems with other faucets. Thanks.

    If you are not having this issue with any other faucets then I believe that something in that particular faucet or associated pipes fell apart or disintegrated... could be something in the faucet... could be something in the shutoff below... could have even come from another spot in the plumbing. But if only shows up at that faucet then that is a good thing.

    Pull off the aerator (I think that is what you meant by the "ring") at the end of the faucet spout and just continue to flush out periodically... see if it continues over the next day or two... let us know what happens.

    Good luck. Mark
